I moved up into the mountains to put my past behind me, to find some peace.

This mountain is my sanctuary. Until some woman shows up during a snowstorm with a suitcase, insisting to rent my cabin for the week.
She got scammed. Not my problem. She’s got curves in all the right places, but I send her away. The next thing I know, she’s
crashed her car in the blizzard and I’m carrying her to my cabin.
I rescued her and now we’re snowed in together. It’s all I can do to keep my hands off her. But I know she wants me, too.
Sparks fly, and there’s no turning back. We’re all alone up in the mountains, snowed in and having the hottest fling in history.
There’s only one problem: I don’t want to let her go.
Make that two problems: I can’t let her find out my dark secret.

If I tell her the truth, she’ll run away, and I’ll never see her again. If I keep the secret, I lose the girl of my dreams.

The bell at the delivery door buzzed again. Susan looked up from her computer screen and yelled, “Is anybody going to get that?”
She waited for help to come. “Where is everybody?” She rose from her desk and walked through an open doorway into the storage room. Walking through a maze of boxes and bins, she reached the door and unlocked it. She pushed open the heavy door to find a handsome man standing with a box on his broad right shoulder. He shifted the box so he could touch his cap. “Good afternoon, Mademoiselle. Where do you want the box?”
Puzzling over the French word spoken in a decidedly Midwestern accent, she pointed behind her to the left. “Over there, please.”
She watched as he placed the box on the floor and walked toward her. “Sign here, please, Mademoiselle.”
Susan smiled at him. “Of course.” After she signed she said, “Please forgive me for being nosey, but I am very curious about your calling me ‘Mademoiselle’ since your accent tells me you’re not French.”
He broke into a smile. “But, Mademoiselle, my accent does not tell you the whole story. I am part French. I moved with my parents from France to Iowa when I was only 6 years old. My father is part American and part French. My mother is thoroughly French. She still frets about how quickly my French accent melted away after I started the first grade in Rone, Iowa.”
The man held her eyes for a moment.
“Merci, Mademoiselle. This is my first day on this route. Perhaps I will see you again.”
